SUMMARY:The Promise of Diplomacy\, with Former U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam Ted Osius
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the World Affairs Council of Connecticut\, Ambassador Ted Osius\, former United States Ambassador to Vietnam (2014-17)\, will discuss relations between the United States and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and how the current U.S.-Vietnam relationship exemplifies the power of diplomacy in ensuring peace.\nThe conversation will be followed by a reception and book signing of Ambassador Osius’ latest book: Nothing is Impossible: America’s Reconciliation with Vietnam.\nIn Nothing is Impossible Ted Osius\, former ambassador during the Obama administration\, offers a vivid account of the various forms of diplomacy that made this reconciliation possible. He considers the leaders who put aside past traumas to work on creating a brighter future\, including senators John McCain and John Kerry\, two Vietnam veterans and ideological opponents who set aside their differences for a greater cause\, and Pete Peterson—the former POW who became the first U.S. ambassador to a new Vietnam.\n Former ambassador Ted Osius is President & CEO of the US-ASEAN Business Council.  Founded in 1984\, the Council represents 180 of the largest American businesses in Southeast Asia through its headquarters in Washington\, DC\, and its seven regional offices. \n
